First Talk: Pere Urbon Bayes, Technical Account Manager, Confluent

Bio:
Pere is a Technology Architect for Confluent out of Berlin, Germany. He has been working with data and architecting systems for more than 15 years as a freelance engineer and consultant. In that role he was focused on data processing and search, helping companies build reliable and scalable data architectures. His work sits usually at the crossroad of infrastructure, data engineers and scientists, ontologist and product. Prior to that he was part of Elastic, the company behind Elasticsearch, where he was part of the Logstash team, helping companies build reliable ingestion pipelines into Elasticsearch. When not working, Pere loves to spend time with his lovely wife and kids and to train for a good long distance race or duathlon.

Title: 10 ways to deploy Apache Kafka and have fun in the way

Abstract:
If you have ever been involved in deploying an Apache Kafka cluster I’m sure you have faced the question, how do I deploy it? From having everything in one data center, multiple data centers or even the cloud, Apache Kafka will give you flexibility and adapt to your situation.

In this talk we’re going to review the different scenarios one might be facing when installing a new cluster, from a single cluster, to many clusters and stretched clusters, in all we’re going to review pros, cons and the guarantees we can expect from them.

By the end of this talk you will know how to deploy Apache Kafka and get the best of every situation, getting the most of your deployment with understanding of how the cluster is going to behave.

Second Talk
Speaker: Stefan Berger, Backend Software Engineer at Visual Meta

Bio:
Software developer since six years, with the focus on building web applications in Java, HTML+JavaScript and other languages, for in-house and B2B use; always trying to find the most suitable data sink for the users’ input (MySQL, HDFS, HBase, Oracle DB Server, InfluxDB)

Title:
Analytics with Apache Kafka: Persisting messages from large streams of data

Abstract:
Apache Kafka offers a range of options to persist the messages from a stream of data. In addition to that, Kafka consumers can of course write the data from a stream to any storage system. The advantages and challenges of the latter is the topic of this talk. At Visual Meta, we persist performance statistics of our applications and services in InfluxDB, a time series database. I will share with you why we do that, and what we learned on our journey.
